Farhan Akhtar On Playing Milkha Singh: "Was More Challenging Emotionally"

Farhan Akhtar spoke to NDTV about the love he still gets today for Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, wherever he goes. He says that a lot of emphasis was given on the physical transformation, but it was emotionally a lot harder. He shares, "Anyone who has gone through such a physical transformation will tell you that it's more emotionally challenging than it is physically. The only thing I focused on when I spoke to Milkha Singh and heard his story was that he worked harder than everybody else. So to me, representing that in the film was very important." He furthermore spoke about trusting Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra to do justice to the film.
